Nothing. It is the default. You can change the variable Michael mentioned to use "-M -M -C -C" but it is very-very slow on any kind of history worth its commits.

And you almost never talk about _file_ history in Git. It is all _project_ history, filtered for commits which touch the file you're interested in at the moment of looking.
